Halo gets 10/10 in this month's Edge Magazine.



Bollox innit?!


Me thinks Edge got carried away in the X-Box hype. I doubt it would have got 10/10 if it had been a PC release.

Edge allways stake claims on the new machines as being the best thing ever.

Me wonders how they can actually do this in the days of the power pc, and it's wonderfull graphics cards.

It's pretty obvious, that in many cases it's console game design that brings out the best in console games, not the actual machine.

I would just love it if a dev team gave it bollox, and made a game that wouldn't go on anything under a 1.5 chip on a geforce 3 with a stack of ram to boot. That would be something, if they pushed it out some....

Yep, have been looking forward to Rez (on my DC) for ages.

Hook it up to the hi-fi, crank up the volume and it should be kinda good.:)

Agree with you totally. X-Box has had bugger all adverts, I've really heard next to nothing about it. Do Microsoft want to release it over here? :)

The back page of most games mags has an ad which says"Christmas Day 14-03-02". Meaning, of course, the UK X-Box launch date.

I think M$ have gone for the subtle approach rather like $ony did.


No doubt that come Feb next year the TV campaigns kick in.



Oh,and it has had hype in the Gaming press which is what Edge is closest to.

Just out of interest, is this the same Edge magazine which declared the 3DO "the future of home entertainment"?

My 3DO still sits in the corner of my room gathering dust, and yes it is entertaining.

Makes me laugh everytime i put my eyes in it's general dirrection.

Guess thats general entertainment:p


Ps.
Imho 'Foes of Ali' still stands up as one of the best boxing titles ever:)

I think you'll find that the finest vehicle to grace any fps is the BMW Z8 in 007:Agent Under Fire :)

You're the only person in the world who thinks Agent Under Fire is that good.

Halo rips it apart in every conceivable way.

No, I just think the BMW Z8 is that good :)

Halo appears to be a very derivative fps. Seeing as its from Microsoft, no surprises there then!

Look at what Halo was originally meant to be:

Online multiplayer FPS action spread out across a huge world playing with 100's of players on the same world.

M$ buy it for XBox and it turns into a limited derivative single player FPS game.

I mean FFS :/

And yer, Edge seem to have their heads up their arses.

They rated Severance as 3/10, when it's actually quite a good game, 7/10 minimum.

Oh and as a whole they hated LotR.

Methinks they do these things for the attention, and to look l33t.

/wonders why the fuck he's been a sub to Edge for 8½ years...
